We report a patient diagnosed prenatally with unilateral multicystic dysplastic kidney and genitourinary abnormality whose mother had multiple endocrine neoplasia type 2A (MEN2A). Targeted RET sequencing found the same pathogenic variant p.C618S in the child as her mother. The child is followed by paediatric nephrology for congenital anomalies of the kidney and urinary tract (CAKUT) and by endocrine oncology for surveillance for MEN2A-related endocrine tumours. While implicated in each of these conditions individually, RET variants have never been reported to cause MEN2A and CAKUT together. This child’s family history prompted RET sequencing, resulting in presymptomatic, personalised care for MEN2A. However, this case supports the idea that genetic screening of RET (and many other genes) in patients with CAKUT may lead to molecular diagnoses that potentially improve their health through precision care.
